Jargon is all too familiar. The person who used to be a bin man is now a waste disposal operative.

The lifeguard is a wet leisure assistant and the cleaner is an environment improvement technician.

Some other examples which may or not be genuine: vision clearance engineer? Window cleaner.

Stock replenishment advisor? Shelf stacker.

Revenue protection officer? Ticket inspector.

On a similar theme, a reader has contacted Reiver regarding a letter she received from Lloyds TSB. The return envelope was addressed to the ‘Savings Fulfilment Centre’.

Reiver can only wonder what a savings fulfilment centre would have been called in the old days.

But when interest rates are at an historic low, is it possible to have savings and feel fulfilled?
